Node.js [网络库]：如何使缓冲区对象成为字符串？

Question

I am fairly new to Node.js, and I am creating a TCP client that sends and receives data from a certain server.

My problem is with the "data" event emitted when data is received through the socket.

client.on('data', function(data) {    

    console.log('[TCP] Client received: ' + data); // Logs the message as it is supposed to be.

    console.log(data.split(" ")); // Does not work because it says that data is not a string
});

I tried toString(data) but it did not output it as it was logged by the console.

So my question is: How can I convert this object to a string as it is logged in the console?

Thank you for your input :)

Answer 1

if data is a Buffer instance as it looks like, it's

client.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log(data.toString('utf8'));
})
